October 23, 2013: Wednesday, 29th week, Ordinary Time
Readings- Rom 6:12-18 Present yourselves to God as raised to life, your bodies as weapons for righteousness. You were slaves of sin, but thank God you've been freed and have become obedient slaves of righteousness.
- Ps 124:1b-8 "Our help is in the name of the Lord." Blessed be the Lord, who rescued us like a bird.
- Lk 12:39-48 Be prepared; the Son of Man will come when you don't expect. Master will put ready faithful servant in charge of his property. Much/more will be required of the person entrusted with much/more.
Reflections
- RC.net: God offers us priceless treasure: Jesus, relationship with God. Do I guard it? Am I faithful in little things? Vigilant and ready?
- Creighton: We're all slaves/servants, not master.
- Universalis: St. John of Capistrano
Music
- It's the small things/ Troccoli (gospel, about faithfulness)
- Find us ready, from the eponymous collection/ Booth (sheet music preview) (gospel)
Apparel

- "Bird" pin: The Lord rescued us like a bird (psalm)
- "Clocks" tie: if the master had known the hour the thief was coming...; Son of Man will come at an hour you don't expect; master will come on at an unknown hour (gospel)
